I prefer off to thousand-year-delay myself. But apparently "off" is an alien concept.
Very frustrating. "check_interval" is the only control? 0 is sometimes an "off" value but attempts to set 0 revert to 1440.
Relocating /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/libhildon-update-notifier.so* stopped it in its tracks. Unknown side effects, but didn't stop the Application Manager GUI from checking for updates. Not what I'd consider a good solution.

I could have sworn there was a way to set it from GUI, but can't remember whether it was from app manager or control panel sub-sub-sub-submenu...

app manager is hiding a settings dialog, but to access it one need to restart app manager after doing the red pill switch...

Uhm... qwerty12 already pointed to the place where the recurring event is defined. Just edit the XML (carefully!) and restart alarmd.

Once it got sorted out the event did not reappear until I toggled [Control Panel > Panels > Status bar > Software update notifier] on. Toggling it off did not remove the event.
